To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK (inserts, a citi zen of the United States, and a resident of Alva, in the county of Woods and State of o @klahoma,' have invented an Improved Childs Portable High Chain-of which the following is a specification.

My present invention is an improvement in what may be termed legless high-chairs of that type in which the seat and back are hinged and adapted to fold together, and provided with hook-like attachments adapted for snpporting the chair proper on the back of an ordinary chair, or on hooks or 15 other devices secured to a wall or any other rigid support.

The invention is embodied in the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective-view of the chair unfolded and extended as when in use. Fig. 2 IS a perspective View showing the same folded. Fig. 8 is a horizontal section on the l ne 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. i is a vertical section showin especially one of the swinging and adjust-hie hooks attached to the chair back. Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of" a portion of the seat illustrating the connection of one of the side arms therewith when the chair is in use.

The seat 1 and back 2 are hinged together at 3, which adapts them to assume the position indicated in Fig. 1 when the chair is required for use, or to fold fiat t gether, as shown in Fig. 2. Angular side arms 4, con structed of metal rods, are hinged at 5 to the side edges of the back 2. They are thus adapted to be swung. outward into parallel position, as shown in Fig. l, and their free ends or terminals are bent inward so as project nnderthe seat 1 and support it in of the arms are bent rearward and upwardand adapted to press against the sides of the back 2 when the arms are extended as in Fig. 1. In other words, the lower rear ends of the arms are constructed with extensions which, when the arms are in working positlon, prevent the latter fromv spreading or swinging outward The tray or tray-board 9, which ordinarily forms an attachment of high-chairs, is provided on its underside with meanstor securing it detachably to the arms e.

As shown best iii-Fig, 1, the back 2 is provided with hooks 11 for supporting it upon the back ofan ordinary chair, or upon any other suitable and firm support. As shownin Fi 5, the hooks proper iia e right-angular in form, their upper limbs r arms being provided long with a opening to receive the horizontal port of crank arms or brackets 12 that are ote to and adapted to swing on... the chair hack 2. The hooks 11 may be rotated on the brackets 12, or slid outward thereon or reversed to increase or diminish ti e between t em and'the hack of the elm are clamped in any adjustment by :1: screws 13. Both the hooks 11 e ging brackets 12 are incased r order to prevent marring ort to which the char (7 s 12 and also the side are pivo e adapted to swing metal 3 15 which are se ie lsq rivets screws to the side i cnair b Thus, by one u hearing adapted to t and attac' a is advaz lagoons i 1' "1 I, as a comic to the t the hinged edges ot the seat and back, as shown.

1 thus provide a chain which may convenient-i adjusted for use or toided into smaii space as required for econoiny'of storage or transportation as weii as convenience in handiing.

W hat it ciaim is 1. The combination, with a back and seat hinged together, 0t arms constructed of metal. rods which are in anguiar form and hinged at the side edges of the back and adapted to lie fiat-wise against the seatwhen folded, the free ends of said airns being bent inward so as to project under and support the seat when the shown and described.

52. The combination with a seat and back hinged together, 0t spring; side arms hinged on the back and having their forward ends constructed for engagement with-the seat as required for supporting it their rear ends provided with tater-a1 extensions adapted for, contactwith the side edges of the back, the sa -e thus appiying "leverage "for holding the arms in the extended position and engaging with the seat, substantiaiiy as described.
